2025 Concept for “Block-to-Block” Aircraft Operations

2025 NGATS Capabilities

• Global Secure Access to Net Centric Information

• Airborne Information Web

• Broad-Area Precision Navigation

• Required Total System Performance – Equip for Service

• National Dynamic Airspace

• 4D Trajectory Management

• Seamless Weather Assimilation Into Decision Loops

• Equivalent Visual Operations

• Super Density Operations

• Distributed Airport Operations

“Block to Block”

National Dynamic Airspace

• Airspace configuration driven by user needs, national security requirements, safety, overall efficiency of operations

• Single mechanism for implementing SUA, TFR’s, etc.

• Applying resources where the demand warrants

• Reconfigurable hourly

Management-by-Trajectory

• Users have 4D trajectories which are the basis for planning and execution

• 4D trajectories exchanged and conflicts resolved among users and ATM service providers – “The Evaluator”

• Strategic traffic management and separation assurance

“Equivalent Visual” Operations

• Enable aircraft to “see” operations in non-visual conditions

• Allow controllers to delegate “maintain separation” function to aircraft

• Independent operations to converging and closely-spaced parallel runways

• System-wide availability at all “air portals”

Weather Information in ATM System

• Stable fusion of weather observations and forecasts from multiple sensors and prediction models into one national database

• Dynamic updating and support for all push/pull operations

• Seamless assimilation of weather information in ATM system “decision loops”
